Salt and pepper to taste. 1/4 cup vegan parmesan cheese optional. Lemon slices for garnish.

Instructions: Cook linguine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in vegan butter until melted and well combined. Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the pasta and toss once more.

Savor the wonderful marriage of coffee and chocolate in these sugar-free, low-carb biscotti. These guilt-free chocolate and coffee treats are ideal for anyone following the Paleo diet.

Ingredients: 2 cups almond flour. 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 2 tablespoons instant coffee powder. 1/4 cup sugar-free sweetener e.g., erythritol or stevia. 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 2 large eggs. 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/4 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips.

Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 325F 160C. Almond flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee powder, sugar-free sweetener, baking soda, and salt should all be combined in a big mixing bowl. Whisk eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract in a different bowl. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until a dough forms. Mix the dark chocolate chips without added sugar into the dough. Each half of the dough should be divided in half and shaped into an approximately 8-inch-long and 2-inch-wide log. Leaving some space between each log, place the logs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until firm to the touch, in a preheated oven. After taking the biscotti logs out of the oven, allow them to cool for roughly ten minutes. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit 135 degrees Celsius. Cut the biscotti logs into 1/2-inch-thick slices with a sharp knife, then arrange them flat on the baking sheet. To ensure even crispiness, bake the sliced biscotti for a further 15 to 20 minutes, turning them over halfway through. Take them out of the oven when crispy and golden brown, and allow them to cool fully. To ensure freshness, store your sugar-free, low-carb mocha biscotti in an airtight container.
